Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love that my students are curious, creative, and full of energy. They are eager to explore the world around them and love learning through hands-on activities. Each student brings unique ideas and perspectives, and they thrive when given opportunities to experiment, build, and problem-solve together.

The resources in this project will allow my students to engage in STEM and sensory learning in meaningful ways.

Magnetic tiles and building blocks will encourage creativity, spatial reasoning, and collaborative play. Squishy toys and pencil grips will support fine motor development and sensory regulation. Tracing boards, flashcards, and alphabet puzzles will strengthen early literacy, handwriting skills, and number recognition. Messy trays for paint, water, and sand play will spark curiosity and allow students to explore science concepts through tactile experiences. These materials will provide my students with hands-on opportunities to develop critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
